Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

What's sad is that homos everywhere will continue lusting over this moronic piece of maggot shit. "Oh, you're so hot, hate me more!"

So I googled him and ... really?

Over him? There are other football guys who are way hotter, but ...I guess.

That Matt Iseman guy is cute, but truth be told I would pick the most of the guys he was interviewing over him any day. A lot of football players are fucking hot and I wouldn't deny their hotness just because they don't like gay people. I mean it's just silly, I'm not looking for a relationship with them, they're just eye candy.

Re: Tim Tebow, anti gay

If I remember correctly, Tebow comes from a pretty conservative and religious family and so this doesn't really surprise me. I think he expressed his support for abstinence until marriage before? I remember reading he was staying a virgin until he wed.

5 million dollars promoting their ideal family values that everyone should follow but they cut jobs and toss their employees out on the street when that money could have been used to help how many families?

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

I knew there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way, not only as a Tide fan, but as a gay man. He needs a kick in the head (and I'm usually not one to advocate violence). Until then, this will do:

In all seriousness I agree with you. When you really dig deep American Football is probably the most homoerotic sport minus wrestling in my opinion. Big muscle guys in spandex running arund the field trying to tackle each other and then patting each other on the ass for a job well done.

While sports like swimming, diving, and tennis may seem less masculine I would say that Football and wrestling are more homoerotic, which some could argue makes them more gay!

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

The title of this thread is misleading. From the description given in the article, the ad is not anti-gay, but rather it seems that it may be an anti-abortion ad. But for the fact that his mother decided not to have an abortion, Tim Tebow would not be alive today playing pro football. That's the message that they're trying to put across. I'm sure the ad will turn up on YouTube eventually. Let's wait to see what's in the ad before we pass judgement.

I think the bit about him writing Bible verses on his forehead comes from Deuteromy 11:18:

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds;
tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

His father is a Christian minister. Supposedly Tim is a devout Christian. Since he did not enter the ministry like his father did, but instead, chose to become a pro football player, when the tv cameras focus on him, it's his way of sharing the gospel. Sometimes he writes verses on the tape underneath his eyes. I read somewhere that he hopes that when people read the verses that they will look it up to see what it says. Some people have gotten mad at him for doing this, but others have found encouragment.

I don't see anything wrong with it... It would be different if it was Tiger Woods playing golf with verses written on his shirt, while cavorting with waitresses and pornstars...

=============================

This is the announcement from the website of Focus on the Family:

Colorado Springs, Colo (Friday, Jan. 15, 2010) – Focus on the Family will broadcast the first Super Bowl ad in its history February 7 during CBS Sports' coverage of the game at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida.

The 30-second spot from the international family-help organization will feature college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam. They will share a personal story centered on the theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life."

Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, said the chance to partner with the Tebows and lift up a meaningful message about family and life comes at the right moment in the culture, because "families need to be inspired."

"Tim and Pam share our respect for life and our passion for helping families thrive," Daly said. "They live what we see every day – that the desire for family closeness is written on the hearts of every generation. Focus on the Family is about nurturing that desire and strengthening families by empowering them with the tools they need to live lives rooted in morals and values."

Daly added that all the funds to air the ad came from a handful of "very generous and committed friends" who donated specifically to support the project. No money from the ministry's general fund was used.

The Tebows said they agreed to appear in the commercial because the issue of life is one they feel very strongly about.

Daly chuckled at some of the "will-they-or-won't-they?" speculation in the media about whether Focus would indeed create a Super Bowl ad.

"Now that the ad has been shot, we're excited to tell people it's coming, because the Tebows' story is such an important one for our culture to hear," he said. "You won't want to miss it."

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

While I would rather they didn't exist at all, I'd much rather they blow 5 million dollars on two commercial spots that won't do a damned thing to change a woman's mind about abortion than spend it on keeping more people on staff. Hopefully it's a sign that they're in serious organizational trouble and won't be around much longer.

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

I'm sure Tim is straight as an arrow, probably in every respect, but here is the real pity: by all accounts he has had a tremendous influence on his roommate of several years, Riley Cooper (#11 WR for the Gators). Riley is so fucking hot he makes my teeth sweat; he makes Tebow look like a witch with a wart on her nose. If Riley is a virgin because of Tebow, it is the biggest waste of gorgeousness I have ever witnessed. No man or woman should be deprived of any opportunity to sleep with that fox.

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

i have to say that what i've read i don't get the impression that the ad itself will be anti-gay but more pro-choice.

regardless if this organization would rather blow their wad on a couple of ads during the superbowl while letting staff go left and right? well that tells me their house isn't in order. and i don't think that's such a bad thing.

Re: anti gay superbowl ad with QB Tebow

Whats with all these bible thumping, southern college quarterbacks? Wasn't there a recent thread congratulating another "devoted" college quarterback (McCoy?) for getting engaged? Why do I have a feeling that it's only a matter of time before some holier than thou sports figure will be found toe tapping in a men's room? It doesn't appear that this commercial is directed at gays per se, but let's face it, the association with Dobson's hateful group is far from flattering.... And not that I really notice but imho god gave Tebow the sorriest butt of any college quaterback.
